Secret Lab – Dark Deep Desires EP
April 2012 – KR060

Download Link

Secret Lab is one of those wonderful chip musicians with no internet presence who just suddenly appears out of nowhere and drops a demo of several beautiful tracks in your inbox. He has been secretly synchronising underclocked Game Boys in Rome for several years now, creating a mass of swirling arps in a retro-futuristique synth disco kind of way.

infradead – and the goat makes FOUR!

Another one of those pesky artists who use zany capitalisation. This is some straight up droney glitch outta space Game Boy stuff. There is also a rap. Everyone should have a rap.

Joss Manley slapping it down wide once agin. Expect crazy acid squelch, intricate beats, breaks and mush all painstakingly put together with his trusty Amiga 1200 and Octamed. Oh and there are some raps too. Great.

Pirates were pretty cool before Johnny Depp decided to play a Rolling Stone in some never ending series about a ride or something. Maybe they are still cool because of Johnny Depp. I’m not sure. Anyway, this nostalgic release will take you back to the days of unlicensed pirate Lego and never ending disk swaps because you didn’t have a hard drive.

Droid Song – rain
June 2011 – KR052

Download Link

A short EP of lonely atmospheric songs about the rain. I can’t that imagine that it rains much in California though. It doesn’t seem to in The O.C. trailers anyway, or any of the west coast rap videos. Yeah, these songs are very mornful.

May Release

kraettz – Battle Ground Microchip
May 2011 – KR051

Download Link

Throughout 2008 and 2009 a series of amazing intricate LSDJ breakcore tracks were uploaded to 8bitcollective and largely ignored in favour of the usual Game Boy melodic techno. Kittenrock has persuaded kraettz to re-record these breathtaking tracks as a proper release. Featuring exquisite drum programming and excellent glitchy sound design, this release seriously pushes the boundaries of what should be possible with a couple of Game Boys.
